Star in the constellation of Camelopardalis
HD 31134 , also designated as HR 1561 , is a solitary star [ 14] located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis , the giraffe. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as a white-hued star with an apparent magnitude of 5.74.[ 2] Gaia DR3 parallax measurements place it 473 light years away.[ 1] It appears to be approaching the Solar System with a heliocentric radial velocity of −15.1 km/s .[ 6] At its current distance, HD 31134's brightness is diminished by 0.35 magnitudes due to interstellar dust .[ 15] It has an absolute magnitude of +0.19.[ 7]
The object has a stellar classification of A2 Vs,[ 4] indicating that it is an A-type main-sequence star with sharp or narrow absorption lines due to slow rotation. Two sources remove the s prefix and instead list it as an ordinary dwarf star[ 16] [ 17] while one lists it as a more evolved giant star .[ 18] Abt and Morell (1995) list it as a slightly hotter peculiar Ap star ,[ 5] but it is now considered unlikely to be chemically peculiar.[ 19] It has 2.74 times the mass of the Sun and an enlarged radius of 4.38 R ☉ .[ 8] It radiates 103 times the luminosity of the Sun [ 3] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,690 K .[ 9] HD 31134 is a rather evolved star, having completed 97.6% of its main sequence lifetime[ 3] at the age of 432 million years .[ 12] Consistent with its spectrum, it spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 60 km/s .[ 11]
